Hi,
First to get rid of a long-living misconception; there is no such thing as 
the '.ott file format'.
OpenOffice invented that extention (which is NOT a fileformat) to mark 
some .odt files as templates.
In other words; all apps that support .odt files will support .ott files.  
Some apps that find extentions really relevant may need a rename first.

Note that only windows applications find extentions relevant. Unix 
applications (KOffice included) can use and detect fileformats just fine 
without valid extentions. So feeding kword an .ott file just uses it like it 
were a .odt

Hope this helps.
